"Angels For Charity" Lingerie show

On Saturday 26th September, my 2nd event took place...my "Angels for Charity" lingerie show. This was to be my pinnacle show, the accumulation of all my efforts. I wanted to create awareness for Mr SA and Ons Huis, raise funds for the charity and also showcase some of Cape Town's up and coming modelling talent. While melding beauty and charity together.

I had approached many sponsors for this event, as well for the Mr SA itself, and I was hoping to get Ola Magnum(something sweet), Moet(something bubbly) and Lamborghini(something sexy) on board. Moet was a no, Lamborghini an almost(they liked the concept, but were worried bout possible damage), but Ola really liked the idea and were a go. I organised French Knickers to provide the lingerie, and Finger Clothing would use the event to launch their new swimwear range.

So everything was set...except I needed wings for the angels!
Nothing an hour drive to Stellenbosch couldnt fix ;) So my angels had their wings, I had my sponsors and the marketing machine was in motion. I really needed the wings as they would amplify the meaning of the concept behind the show. The concept was based on a paradoxical antithesis of the 7 deadly sins. Except now my 7 angels would represent the opposite of sins, all that is good and from heaven. Everybody needs an angel in their life, someone to shine some light in when things are down. All of you reading this have had "angels" in your life, be it your parents, friends or family members. But there are a lot of people who have not been this fortunate, and they have no-one looking out for them, no-one to shine "light" into their lives. Ons Huis are like angels, shining light and hope into the lives of the less fotunate.


I spoke to the crowd about this, but it was a little lost on them as they were quite young and superficial. But a few people did listen and they came up to me after to say that they also "care". But the point of the evening was to raise money for charity and put on a good show and party at the same time. And the place was packed! 12 o'clock came and the crowd was getting restless, they wanted to see some beautiful girls in lingerie...

It was show time! 1st the models came out in Finger's new swimwear range, just to warm the crowd up. They went backstage to put on the lingerie and wings and just before they were to come out again, the lights went off...and then back on and the angels appeared on stage to a roar from the crowd. They looked really gorgeous up there and for a second I felt like I was in heaven;)

On a serious note though, the event was a great success. The venue was packed, I was able to get the message of charity and Ons Huis across and some money was raised for Ons Huis. After the show 3 Ola girls handed out some ice cold Magnum ice creams to the crowd, to cool them down after the "hot" show they had just watched.

I would like to thank Ola Magnum, French Knickers, Finger, FTV Cape Town, Ons Huis and the Mr SA committee for making the event possible.

We all need angels in our life.

Someone to shine some light.

Together we can overcome any darkness.

Lets make a difference.
